Abstract
Introduction:
This case report describes a woman diagnosed with pseudo fibromyalgia of 35 years duration achieving complete symptom resolution after DMSA oral chelation, a comprehensive detoxification program, antioxidant supplementation, dietary modification and dental amalgam removal.
Case Report/Methods:
This patient had elevated levels of mercury and lead upon DMSA urine challenge testing. In addition, she had 6 mercury-containing dental amalgams removed at the beginning of treatment. The patient was placed on a three weeks on and one week off DMSA oral chelation protocol for six months. Supportive nutritional and detoxification supplementation were used in addition to the DMSA. A diet that supports the detoxification systems of the body was also utilized.
Results:
After four months of treatment all symptoms that the patient had been experiencing for 35 years
completely resolved. Symptoms included chronic widespread muscle pain, insomnia, fatigue, depression, digestive problems, impaired mental function and blurry vision.
Discussion: This case illustrates a novel, safe and effective treatment option for patients with pseudo fibromyalgia. Toxic metal allergy, immune dysfunction, impaired liver detoxification, hypothyroidism, and oxidative stress/antioxidant insufficiency have been shown to contribute to pseudo fibromyalgia. The multi-faceted treatment plan addressed these possible causes yielding a positive outcome.
